The Whimsical Nursery is starting to look and feel like a nursery

      We were busy busy busy this past week and weekend.  Michael and I (well mostly Michael) moved the guest bed out of Baby Pearl's room giving us room to put together the dresser and move furniture around.  On Sunday our friend Stephanie came over and helped me put together and place the crib and rug.  We're very very happy with how all of our furniture looks together and feel that they're all items that she will be able to enjoy and utilize for years to come.  We still have to take the pictures off the walls... even though they're nice and we love them they just aren't right for a baby's room.  So we'll be moving them to another spot in the house and when we go to Nashville in September we'll also be taking many of the stuffed animals on the shelves to make room for Baby Pearl's special things.  We will be keeping a few of the stufties... such as Michael's mouse Cheesy, Cody's dog Samuel, the build a bear Michael made for me a few years back, Paddington Bear which was Michael's Nanna's and maybe one or two others.

I MAY have to get a stepstool to use to put the baby to bed at night once
we move her into her own room.  The crib is just a bit higher than I anticipated.
We still need to get a mattress for it which we may do this weekend or next weekend.
I'll also be taking the majority of these stufties down and the picture down.  We have a
very "Mirror Mirror on the Wall" type of mirror to go above the dresser and the bassinet
will of course be moved into our room once the baby is born.  

I love this bookshelf because it's so low that once she
is crawling and walking she will be able to get her toys
and books down herself.  I did move this from the area with the
vent so now we don't have to buy legs for it.  YAY!  I still need to
find something to hand above this.  That picture is going to be
moved somewhere else in the house.

Looking in from the doorway.  In the corner is the Snug a bunny bouncer,
baby einstein exersaucer, and a travel swing.  On top of the dresser is a very odd
nursing pillow that I got but don't like, and the bobby newborn lounger.  Definitely
going to have to get the regular boppy.

This is the only shelf in the cubes that is set up all cute with a few books,
the duckie her Grandpa Twork picked out for her and a duckie teether
from Auntie Steph.  The rest of the cubes are holding things yet to be utilized... like
curtains and such.  

              Pretty soon we should be getting some headband supplies in the mail for me to start making Baby Pearl some cute accessories of all kinds... which means I'm going to have to come up with some sort of headband/hairbow display to store them all on.  Hopefully, we will get the curtains up very soon to add a pop of color and a bit more whimsy to the room :)
